    Pregnancy-associated pancreatitis is rare but serious. Medical management is preferred, with surgery reserved until after delivery to ensure the best outcomes for both mother and child.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Pregnancy can present unique challenges in diagnosing and managing medical conditions.
    • Pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, can occur during pregnancy, posing risks to both the mother and fetus.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss five cases of pancreatitis complicating pregnancy.
    • To analyze the pathophysiology, etiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and complications of pancreatitis during pregnancy.
    • To evaluate the optimal management strategies for this condition.

    Summary:

    • Five cases of pregnancy-associated pancreatitis were reviewed.
    • Potential underlying pathologies contributing to pancreatitis were identified in three cases.
    • While three patients underwent surgery, the study emphasizes that medical management is generally the preferred approach.
